a fine glaucous bloom ; generally compressed in the 

 direction of its suture, which is the reverse of the 

 usual mode of compression in stone fruit. STONE 

 adhering firmly to the flesh, ovate, not very uneven. 

 FLESH firm, juicy, of the colour and consistence of a 

 Green Gage Plum. FLAVOUR between that and an 

 Orleans ; better than the latter, but perhaps not so 

 good as the former when in its highest perfection.
